Tommy Hilfiger’s stylish home in Golden Beach, Florida, has dropped in price. Again. This time, the fashion mogul’s mansion, just north of Miami, is on the market for $23.5 million. It was originally offered a year ago for $27.5 million, but the price for the posh property changed late last year to $25.9 million, before coming down again.
Hilfiger and his wife, Dee, didn’t own the place for all that long before putting it back up for sale. The couple purchased the beachfront contemporary in 2013 for $17.25 million to house their eye-popping pop-art collection, and wanted interiors to match.
The trend-setters secured Los Angeles-based interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard to complete the look. The result is a profusion of supergraphic prints, ’70s-era furnishings and bold hues from floor to ceiling. Plus, the home serves as a colorful backdrop for the couple’s artwork, from Keith Haring to Andy Warhol.
The dizzying color schemes, from a blood-red home theater, geometric black-and-white kitchen and the frenzy of blue patterns in the sitting room may not be to everyone’s taste. Perhaps the drop in price will allow someone who loves the location and the architecture to budget in for a redo of the interior.
However, the new lower ask may also be tempting to those who want the one-of-a-kind designer home as-is. In fact, the profusion of reds and blues remind us of the designer’s sporty clothing line.
The opulent spread, featured on the cover of Architectural Digest, includes 14,000 square feet of exclusive ocean frontage, a lush landscape and an infinity pool. The home contains seven bedrooms, eight full and four half-baths, a gourmet kitchen, formal dining room, living room and multiple sitting spaces. In addition, the layout features an office, a bar, a gym, an elevator, an outdoor lounge area with pool and 100 feet of ocean frontage, and well, wild finishes throughout.
Even if, with this home, “’wow’ might be an understatement,” as AD noted, the total “Wow” of locale, as well as the look, may be exactly what gets the next owner to notice this home.
